Taye Diggs

Taye Diggs says he doesn’t want his six-year-old son Walker to have to choose between identifying as either black or white. While promoting his new children’s book “Mixed Me,” the actor noted in an interview that his son’s experience of having a black father and a white mother (Idina Menzel) inspired him to write the story.

The actor claims that the industry makes decisions on whether to green-light African-American projects based on how other, completely unrelated African-American films do at the box office — and that it’s fundamentally wrong.
